My guess is that Roger Federer will have spent this weekend thinking about the reality that a year is a long time in tennis. Not just to Roger, because the pace of change at the top of the men's game has been rapid this year, and it will have taken Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal by surprise, if for different reasons. It is mentally very challenging and only he will know how losing that 6-0 set really felt. While it is sort of melancholy watching the great champions fade it is also exciting seeing the younger players blossom. She is not just using the counter punching style of going end to end, and I find her laidback, no-nonsense demeanour refreshing.
